High praise goes to this BP whistleblower for standing up against the exploiting of California taxpayers by a global oil company accused of illegally hiking the price it charges for natural gas sold to the state of California. The False Claims Act prohibits all forms of fraud against the government, whether by contractors or those satisfying the procurement needs of government. Government audits alone do not catch this kind of fraud—whistleblowers help fill the void.
